Audit had layoffs at Kpmg for covid lol….

likesmart

Will be going to EY if I get the Advisory offer. Thats why I was curious on layoffs.

Will you be in the bottom half of performers? If so don’t go. Otherwise you’ll probably survive.

Advisory’s easy as hell don’t worry about it

I’d say that you def have more job security in Audit but if say depending on service line in advisory you’d be pretty safe. I’d honestly expect audit to have a layoff over advisory.

Really? Why?

Advisory is short staffed. At least in my practice. Likely no layoffs

Which practice

EY Dubai and KPMG Dubai had a lot of lay offs during COVID. First being cost cutting of audit fee so client went for cheaper options and second being rotation. Deloitte and Pwc had no lay offs. However I do recall GT Dubai Advisory services having to deal with tough time during COVID and half the staff had to be moved in external audit to be utilized but even they did not stay because it was external audit

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Anyone stop logging all their hours?
I did and it's killing me because now I'm working till 2 am, but its not showing on paper. I o ly show 8 or 9 hours. But, I would rather not get yelled at from the client or director for going over budget. The budget is super tight, like 1.5 hours per workpaper and my associate already uses all of it. So nothing is left for review. Why do partners do this to us?
